Objective: To evaluate the effect of comprehensive intervention program on hypertension control in workplaces in China. Methods: The study design was a non-randomized controlled trial. First, 20 sub-centers were selected across China, then hypertension patients in 2-4 workplaces were selected as the intervention group, and hypertension patients in 1 comparable workplace selected, as the control group in each sub-center. The comprehensive intervention strategy which integrating workplace primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases and standardized management of hypertension was adopted in the intervention group for at least 2 years. Patients in the control group continued their usual health care, and only baseline data and 2-year data was collected. Analyses were conducted for hypertension patients in 30 stated-owned enterprises (SOEs), including 20 for the intervention group and 10 for the control group. The primary outcome was the control rate ofhypertension while the intervention effect (IE) was estimated by using the formula: differential value of intervention group[rate (mean)]-differential value of control group[rate (mean)]. Results: Overall, 2 622 patients completed the 2-year follow-up, of which 2 055 were in the intervention group and 567 in the control group, respectively. After 2 years of intervention, the IE on the level of SBP and DBP for intervention group and control group were-7.5 and-3.9 mmHg, respectively (P<0.05). BMI decreased by 0.4 kg/m(2), with the regular exercise rate as 36.4% and alcohol consumption rate decreased by 14.0%, respectively (P<0.05). The smoking rate decreased by 6.1% (P>0.05). The overall hypertension control rate was 25.0%, and further subgroup analysis showed that our intervention program was particularly effective for those with high education level (27.6%), white-collar employees (41.9%), and those from SOEs whose affiliated hospital had been separated away (41.9%). Conclusion: The comprehensive intervention program could greatly improve the hypertension control in the workplaces in China.

Objective: To explore the prevalence and risk factors of mitral regurgitation (MR) in the population ≥35 years in China in order to provide prevention reference for high risk crowd. Methods: The residents ≥35 years were taken by a stratified multistage sampling method. General information of crowd was collected by predesigned questionnaire and physical examination including life style, disease history, body weight and height. Echocardiography was conducted, fasting blood glucose and blood lipid levels were measured. Results: A total of 28814 subjects were enrolled. The overall MR detection rate was 18.4%, the detection rate in male and female were both 18.4%. The detection rates of moderate and severe MR were 0.3% in the paticipants at (35-50) years, 0.9% at (51-64) years and 2.2% at ≥65 years. MR prevalence showed an increasing trend with aging. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that age, systolic blood pressure, urban and rural, district, left atrial front and back diameter, left ventricular end diastolic front and back diameter, left ventricular ejection fraction, stroke, atrial fibrillation and heart failure were the risk factors for MR occurrence. Conclusion: MR detection rate was rather high in China. Specific prevention action should be taken for those with theabove risk factors.

Objective: To investigate the detection rates and inlfuencing factors of atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) among neonates in two cities of East China and to provide scientiifc basis for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and monitor of ASD and VSD. Methods: 2100 newborns with gestational age of at least 28 weeks were recruited consecutively from each city between 2013-09 and 2014-11. Data related to ASD and VSD were collected by questionnaires and echocardiographic screening was conducted within 7 days after birth. Results: A total of 4152 neonateswere examined with gestational age of (39.03 ± 1.29) weeks, among whom 2189 were male infants (52.72%), and age of mother was (26.32 ± 4.10) years old. Detection rates of ASD and VSD were 60.5‰ and 12.8‰ respectively, showing no significant difference between genders (P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and home decoration were the inlfuencing factors of ASD and maternal drug use in early pregnancy was the inlfuencing factor of VSD among newborns. Conclusions: Detection rates of ASD and VSD among neonates were relatively high in two cities of East China. Early screening is importtant to reduce the incidence of ASD and VSD and improve the prognosis.

Objectives To investigate the relationship between albuminuria and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in middle-to-old-aged Chinese population. Methods A total of 2500 residents aged more than 40 years old were selected using random cluster sampling in Shougang community, Beijing, and 2315 of them took part in the survey finally. Morning urinary samples were collected. Urinary albumin and creatinine were measured. Albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) was calculated and used as an index of albuminuria. The subjects were grouped according to ACR: normoalbuminuria (NO, ACR< 30 mg/g), microalbuminuria (MI, ACR 30-299 mg/g), and macroalbuminuria (MA, ACR ≥ 300 mg/g). Albuminuria (AL) group consisted of MI group and MA group. Cardiovascular risk factors were also investigated. Then all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality were collected after 4 years. The Cox model was used to analyze the relationship between albuminuria and all-cause mortality after adjusting for confounders. Results The prevalence of microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria was 7.6% and 1.4% respectively. After 4 years follow-up,the cardiovascular mortality was 2.7/1000 person-years in NO group, 19.9/1000 person-years in MI group, and 11.5/1000 person-years in MA group and the all-cause mortality was 6.6/1000,25.9/1000 and 57.5/1000 person-years respectively. After adjusting for age, gender, smoking, body mass index, serum lipids, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease at baseline and serum creatinine, the hazard ratio (HR) of cardiovascular mortality in AL group was 5.26 [95% confidence intervals (CI) 2.26-12.24] compared with NO group; the HR of all-cause mortality was 3.34 (95% CI 1.82-6.15). Among patients without cardiovascular disease at baseline, the corresponding HRs were 6.92 (95%CI 1.80-26.58) and 2.85 (95%CI 1.22-6.65) respectively.Conclusion In the population studied, albuminuria is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality.
